JAKARTA - Barcelona did excel everything last season from their rivals, Real Madrid. They dominate domestically, win La Liga, Spanish Super Cup, and Copa del Rey titles, even beating Los Blancos in all El Clasico matches for the 2024/2025 season.
One of the Blaugrana players, Robert Lewandowski, thinks Real Madrid this season and in the future will not be the same.
He said his team's rivals had been stronger since being trained by former team-mates at Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso.
Alonso left Bayer Leverkusen at the end of last season to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

Lewandowski knows very well the quality of Alonso. Therefore, he warned Barcelona players to be vigilant.
"He (Alonso) has a bright future as a coach, of course, not only in terms of tactics, but also in terms of personality."
"I know the first season is sometimes complicated. He may need time. However, in the future, I know he will be a great coach. He will be one of the best, maybe the best."
"He is a person who can bring out the best potential from every player. I am sure of that," said Lewandowski about Alonso.
So far, Alonso still has a perfect record in the first two matches of La Liga 2025/2026. They won over Osasuna (1-0) and Real Oviedo (3-0).
Barcelona is also worth three. Hansi Flick's troops managed to beat Real Mallorca (3-0) and Levante (3-2).
The El Clasico meeting this season will begin on October 26, 2025 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
